For the record, as of this year, the Best Film award also pays tribute to the film’s production, meaning that, for The Macaluso Sisters, a Nastro award was also won by Rosamont and Minimum Fax Media, alongside RAI Cinema.

Set to be delivered on stage at the Taormina Film Fest, which open this Sunday 27 June, the Nino Manfredi Prize is scheduled to close this session of the Nastri d’Argento awards, while the brand-new Nastri Awards for Major International Series will unfold in Naples on 18 and 19 September.
